<p>So <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="218647">@Amanjeev Sethi</span>'s tweet got me thinking:</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/amanjeev/status/1123545258250375168" target="_blank" title="https://twitter.com/amanjeev/status/1123545258250375168">https://twitter.com/amanjeev/status/1123545258250375168</a></p>
<p>I wanted to suggest yesterday that we ought to do a "sprint blog post" to lay out our immediate aims and draw attention. I think this is something all working groups should do, though we don't always manage it =)</p>
<div class="inline-preview-twitter"><div class="twitter-tweet"><a href="https://twitter.com/amanjeev/status/1123545258250375168" target="_blank"><img class="twitter-avatar" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/2795954810/d88515527ce72aed2a0613ea19530671_normal.jpeg"></a><p>Did you know that there is a Learning Working Group in <a href="https://twitter.com/rustlang" target="_blank" title="https://twitter.com/rustlang">@rustlang</a> compiler team? <a href="https://t.co/cHjlE1dLiR" target="_blank" title="https://t.co/cHjlE1dLiR">https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/tree/master/working-groups/learning</a>

Goal: This working group aims to make the compiler easier to learn by ensuring that rustc-guide and api docs are "complete".

<p>That's a good question. It's not something we've traditionally used the main blog for, but I think we perhaps underutilize the main blog. I've also debated that the compiler team ought to have a blog.</p>

<p>I think a post saying "We're creating a new learning wg. It's focus is making rustc better to learn. To start, we're doing x, y, and z" would suffice</p>

<p>FWIW I think posting on <a href="http://blog.rust-lang.org" target="_blank" title="http://blog.rust-lang.org">blog.rust-lang.org</a> is fine for things other than releases personally; we might not link to it from HN, reddit, internals, users, etc. but it is a good forum</p>

<p>How many posts do we anticipate? If it is not much, maybe using some kind of filtering mechanism might be better and just one blog to find all content?</p>

<p>yeah, it would help a lot, I think, rather than having to follow many individual blogs (e.g. niko's, boats's, aturon's, ...)</p>
